so I took a photograph

I'd have expected a much better quality pic from that phone, especially as it has a Carl Zeiss lens.

The phone is held in a fixed holder and the camera lens was already open. I just need to press a single button. Therefore no laws were broken. I was also stationary with the handbrake on, so perfectly safe

Unfortunately the law says that any interaction with your mobile (hands free or otherwise) while the engine is running (even if stationary) is illegal (not that I personally give a t055).

It's zoomed in a fair way, compared to the original picture, was taken through a filthy windscreen and the handsfree kit doesn't hold the phone perfectly still.

News to me on that law though. So you can have a handsfree kit but you can't press a button to answer the phone? I knew about the thing where they did people for parking up in a layby with the engine running to take a handheld car. Bonkers.

I forgot to mention, I'd just stalled the engine before taking that photo, so still no laws broken as the engine wasn't running.

I see you went to great lengths to take that photo.. I shall have a it framed

Lum

Not really, just press a button, then when I get home, just crop away the rest of the image, leaving the little Pug in the middle.

Lum, your leaving yourself open to abuse from the forums wise ar5es for not having full control of the car

Watch this space lol

Lum

I don't really care. Bring it on. If pressing a button on a device that is fixed to the dashboard, whilst stationary with the handbrake on, is a problem then I hope anyone who criticises has never had to turn their lights on while driving* or operate any other control in their vehicle.

* Actually, I could believe that

UPDATE - I fixed it!! lol

MOT due soon, not that it matters for that, but I also snapped off my own wing mirror the other week when folding it in! so I had to fit some new mirrors too, and was in the mood so I did the wiper motor too

Took ages!! and my arms feel like jelly from drilling out the rivets. Didn't have a 7.5mm drill bit, so I used a 7mm and then an 8mm and just a bit of time and energy later I got all three to pop out I've attached the wiper and it all works fine now - yay!

Just re-attached the new motor with some nuts and bolts.

For anyone reading, I'm not a mechanic, I'm female and I managed it.

All in all cost me £50 (for the parts), Peugeot quoted me £170 to do it!

Thanks for all the help guys!
